Hi,
I've been having some problems with tikz figures. When I
define a new
tikz figure, I normally put it in a buffer:
\startbuffer[mypic]
\starttikzfigure
...
\stoptikzfigure
\stopbuffer
which I use later when I place the figure
\placefigure{My picture}{\getbuffer[mypic]}
The problem is that the figure is not centred: it is always
aligned with
the left side of the document. I guess this has something to
do with
Context not being able to get the image bounds, since it works
fine for
tikz images that are already precompiled into PDFs:
\placefigure{My picture}{\externalimage[mypic.pdf]}
Minimal example is attached.
Michael.
You have to wrap up the picture inside of a \hbox, e.g.
\hbox{\starttikzfigure
...
\stoptikzfigure}

Hmm, why didn't I think of that... Thanks!
